So, I have an external skimmer that I'd like to set up on my 93g cube. This sucker is huge and I'm not even going to be able to run it under the stand (new stand down the road to accommodate it). Anyway, I have some questions...
First, I'm not even sure what model it is. Could anyone figure that out just from these pics? I know it's a Reef Octopus and rated for about 200g.

Second, I'd like to gravity feed from the durso overflow. Will something like this work?

And lastly, what happens if (when) power goes out? How do I prevent an overflow?
Appreciate the help and thanks in advance!
